Hadith.967 - Abdullah ibn Jundab narrates from Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as): "When you perform the Sajdah of Shukr (prostration of gratitude), say: 'O’ Allah (swt), I bear witness before You, Your angels, Your prophets, Your messengers, and all of Your creation that You are Allah (swt), my Lord (azj); Islam is my religion; Muhammad is my Prophet; and Ali, Hasan, Hussain, Ali ibn Hussain, Muhammad ibn Ali, Ja'far ibn Muhammad, Musa ibn Ja'far, Ali ibn Musa, Muhammad ibn Ali, Ali ibn Muhammad, Hasan ibn Ali, and the Hujjah, son of Hasan ibn Ali, are my Imams. With them, I seek closeness, and from their enemies, I dissociate. O’ Allah (swt), I beseech You concerning the blood of the oppressed' (repeating this three times). 'O’ Allah (swt), by Your promise to Yourself concerning Your enemies, destroy them through our hands and the hands of the believers. O’ Allah (swt), by Your promise to Yourself concerning Your allies, grant them victory over Your enemy and their enemy. Send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the Guardians from the family of Muhammad' (repeating this three times). 'O’ Allah (swt), I ask You for ease after hardship' (repeating this three times). Then, place your right cheek on the ground and say, 'O’ my shelter when paths confuse me and the earth, despite its expanse, feels narrow for me. O’ Creator who brought me into existence out of mercy while You were self-sufficient without me, send blessings upon Muhammad and the Guardians from the family of Muhammad' (repeating this three times). Then, place your left cheek on the ground and say, 'O’ One who humiliates every tyrant and grants honor to every humble servant! By Your might, I have reached my limit' (repeating this three times). Then, return to prostration and say 'Shukran Shukran' (Thank you, Thank you) a hundred times. Then, ask for your needs, if Allah (swt) wills.
" Do not prostrate in gratitude when faced with opposition, and use caution in omitting it.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «تَقُولُ فِي سَجْدَةِ اَلشُّكْرِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلاَئِكَتَكَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ وَ رُسُلَكَ وَ جَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اَللَّهُ رَبِّي وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمَ دِينِي وَ مُحَمَّداً نَبِيِّي وَ عَلِيّاً وَ اَلْحَسَنَ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنَ وَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَلْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَ اَلْحُجَّةَ بْنَ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ أَئِمَّتِي بِهِمْ أَتَوَلَّى وَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ أَتَبَرَّأُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ دَمَ اَلْمَظْلُومِ ثَلاَثاً اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ بِإِيوَائِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِأَعْدَائِكَ لَتُهْلِكَنَّهُمْ بِأَيْدِينَا وَ أَيْدِي اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ بِإِيوَائِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ لَتُظْفِرَنَّهُمْ بِعَدُوِّكَ وَ عَدُوِّهِمْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى اَلْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلاَثاً وَ تَقُولُ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ اَلْيُسْرَ بَعْدَ اَلْعُسْرِ ثَلاَثاً ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ اَلْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا كَهْفِي حِينَ تُعْيِينِي اَلْمَذَاهِبُ وَ تَضِيقُ عَلَيَّ اَلْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَ يَا بَارِئَ خَلْقِي رَحْمَةً بِي وَ كُنْتَ عَنْ خَلْقِي غَنِيّاً صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى اَلْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلاَثاً ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ اَلْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ وَ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ قَدْ وَ عِزَّتِكَ بَلَغَ بِي مَجْهُودِي ثَلاَثاً ثُمَّ تَعُودُ لِلسُّجُودِ وَ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ شُكْراً شُكْراً ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ. ولا تسجد سجدة الشكر عند المخالف واستعمل التقية في تركها.
